Adventure Plot:
There is a fine line between civilization and chaos. And it is on these
borderlands where brave and bold adventurers seek fortune and fame. Some of
these exceptional adventurers venture into the realm of Chaos itself, into the
evil forces' own den.
You have traveled for many days, traveling from the relative safety of
the city to the wilderness, where danger lies in every turn of the path. You
have moved up along a rocky track, heading to one of the nameless Keep that
watches the border from the evils of Chaos.
From the Keep you set up your temporary home. You set out to explore the
untamed wilds that surrounds the Keep. Following the trail deeper into the
woods, you discover a set of caves. Mass tribes of different evil humanoids
have set their homes in these caves. But you know riches and fame awaits to
those who dare journey into the Caves of Chaos.
